THE Journal has no official information as
to the extent of the demand for a new Demo
cratic organ in Indianapolis, but from long
course of observation it is prepared to affirm
that while it is easy enough to start paper,
keeping new one going is vastly harder than
pulling teeth. If the dentist-that is to say,
if the editor of the coming organ-doesn't be-
lieve this, just let him try his interviewing
forceps on few of the once hopeful owners
of that weary lot of papers which came to fill
long-felt wants, and whose melancholy wrecks
now dot the strand.

MISSOURI whisky sellers complained that
they were at a disadvantage at the local op-
ton election in that State on Tuesday, owing
to the fact that while saloons were closed by
law, women with tea, coffee and all the
dainties of the season were present at the
polls, and tempted the voters with their wares.
The grumblers will not receive much sympa-
thy, since the local option law was not in
tended to prohibit tea and coffee. and no
Fl ghts are known to have been excited by
their use on this occasion.

DR.. HENRY DAY, of London, read a paper
at the international medical congress on
Headaches in Children and Their Relation to

school children should be separated into
classes by medical experts, and their studies
regulated according to their physical condi-
tons and temperaments. The able Doctor
does not understand our public school system
It does not recognize individualism. The OBJ

Tom. Finn, a veteran Young hunter OF
near Toms Brook, this county. bagged a
monster fish few DAYS since Tie was
ont hunting and had reached the river
at point called the "Narrows' about
five miles north east Of here. when his
attention was attracted 10 loud splash
ing in the shallow water on a sand bar
Thinking 1t was an otter he shot IL with
his rife when thu huge fish, as it proved
to be, started to swim away very swiftly,
but being badly hurt ran ont on the bank
Mr.. Finn at once secured it and to his
establishment found that he had captured
by far the largest fish ever caught in these
waters. 1t weighed twenty pounds and
measured three feet two inches in length.
The head alone weighed four and half
larger than those of herring, and the flesh
was very white, fine and firm, and of a
delicate flavor. Mr.. Finn sent portions
of the meat to his neighbors who all pro-
nounced it equal to the choice yellow
sucker. Unfortunately he forgot his
friends of the HERALD office, a mistake
be will never be guilty of again. Most
persons who examined the big fish pro-
nounced il to be a salmon, which may ee
the case, as number of them were put
in this stream few years ago.
